Principles and Applications of Soil Microbiology, 2021 Soil fauna includes earthworms, collembolans, mites, nematodes, and protozoa. These are eukaryotic, heterotrophic, motile organisms that require oxygen for metabolism. Their physical range, habitats, and food resources are constrained by their respective sizes and the availability of pores of appropriate size within the soil.

Soil fauna effects on litter decomposition are better predicted by fauna communities within litterbags than by ambient soil fauna communities [PDF]
Plant and Soil, 2023 Aims Soil fauna is one of the major drivers of plant litter decomposition. This study aims to assess how soil fauna density and diversity may affect litter decomposition. Also, we assessed whether faunal communities inside the litterbags that are used to

Ecological Indicators, 2021 The relationship between soil fauna and vegetation diversity has been of continuous concern. The effects of the “Grain-for-Green” program on the Loess Plateau in maintaining the abundance and diversity of soil fauna are poorly understood.

Plant diversity increases the abundance and diversity of soil fauna: A meta-analysis
Geoderma, 2022 Soil fauna communities are an important component of soil biodiversity, which is key to myriad terrestrial ecosystem processes. However, despite the current alarming loss of plant diversity, it remains unclear how plant diversity affects soil fauna ...

Aging in soil increases the disturbance of microplastics to the gut microbiota of soil fauna.
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2023Microplastics (MPs) in the soil environment inevitably experience aging processes. However, how aging in soil affects MP toxicity to soil fauna remains poorly understood.

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2011 Edaphic fauna contributes to important ecosystem functions in grassland soils such as decomposition and nutrient mineralization. Since this functional role is likely to be altered by global change and associated shifts in plant communities, a thorough ...

Microplastics are transferred by soil fauna and regulate soil function as material carriers.
Science of the Total Environment, 2022The ecotoxicological effects of microplastics, a new and widespread ecosystem pollutant, have been extensively reported. However, it remains unclear whether soil fauna transfer microplastics and whether migration behaviours influence subsequent ...
